Damage Modifier3.54 x
Rate of fire6.75 s
Optimal Range6,000 m
Accuracy falloff8,000 m
Turret Tracking5.52
Powergrid Usage1,617 MWDescription
Particle blasters operate on a similar principle as the railgun except they fire a magnetically contained ball of subatomic particles. No other turret class can match the sheer destructive power of particle blasters, but due to the rapid dispersion of the containment field, it also has the worst range of all turrets.
Requires either regular or advanced hybrid charge types: Antimatter, Iridium, Iron, Lead, Plutonium, Thorium, Tungsten, Uranium, Null, Void.
